Drinking water purifiers

One of the good screening tests is tea brewing. The water in my apartment is of very good quality, but nevertheless ... The difference in the photographs, absolutely the same conditions, that is, the amount of water, tea, temperature, brewing time and so on.

I also define water quality in this way.

At the dacha, the water is very tasty (although it cannot have a taste), but there is a plaque on the walls of the cup and a film with foam, that is, the TDS is not small.

The filter completely pays for itself, even more

That's for sure, I have seen enough of Roma's photographs and bought myself a year ago, completely different water, although the first filter has to be changed really often, somewhere once every three, four months.
Tatiana (Admin) low bow.

Tanya, to your health!

Our water in Dmitrov is cleaner than Moscow, so I change filters a little less often. And the 1st filter, full of first-class clay, flies too

We have been using the filter under the sink for many years. Recently (about a year) the water has a moldy smell. We change filters regularly, mine. After changing the cartridge, a couple of months pass and the smell returns. How to be in this situation? Maybe someone came across this.

In jd you can see water purifiers. The prices are now good, auction prices.
I'm thinking about buying such a thing home or not. Now we order water at home in large flasks. It seems to be delicious. But I don’t know how useful it is (((It still seems to me better to boil it before using it.

How to flush the tank of a reverse osmosis system if I can't find "Whiteness" on sale, there are only gels with bleach and fragrances?

Olya, I also wanted to rinse the tank and asked this question to my master, who is installing these filters and serving mine. Every year I invite him to replace filters and flush the system.
Answer: no way! In the tank, the entire system is under pressure, and it cannot be destroyed in any way, it will not pump the water supply to the tap and to the tank itself.

You probably need to invite the same master and consult with him on the spot. Or maybe buy a new tank with the entire pressure system

[Admin]

Admin, but our instructions say that it is necessary to rinse. We leave often, so after downtime we need to rinse. I'm going to study the question ... Everywhere there is an ambush with this "water" technique! Thanks for the advice, I will look for a specialist.

[Admin]

Admin, ahh, yes, she asked her husband, he said that he was not going to disassemble the tank, but wanted to pour bleach into the system and rinse it, as the instructions say. Bleach is poured into a specific place, carried throughout the system, and then washed abundantly with water. Previously, Whiteness was liquid, and so they did, but now only gels with perfumes. I think the master does exactly that.

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Ol, Whiteness is in Fixprice, and Fixprice is everywhere

[selenа]

selenа, thanks, but is this White?

I think the master does exactly that.

I will leave this procedure to the master, he understands better than me where to look for this hole and what to pour into it

Today I went to the SES and wanted to order a water analysis in order to select a filter based on the analysis results. I talked to a specialist, and he told me that in general the quality of water in the city is good, since it comes from an artesian well. Water quality in the city is constantly monitored. At the exit from the well, the water is clean. All impurities appear when passing through the pipes. Of all the problems of chlorine, the presence of iron in the water and turbidity after renovation work. The general analysis of water includes all these indicators.Does it make sense to do a general analysis if the indicators are already known? The advanced analysis will include whatever parameters I choose, but I don’t know what to choose.
I am at a loss which filter to choose: osmosis or just a post-treatment system.

Select a normal osmosis cleaning system. The water is not always clean, there are problems and various nasty things in the water.
I live in the suburbs, also water from a well, but look at my filters in the photo - horror! And all this can be in the body.

And with a filter, we calmly drink tap water, delicious water.
After all, the appearance of pure water does not mean anything, the water is colorless. And from the point of view of bacteria, the water can be clean.
And how will it pass through the filters .... a lot of things remain on them. And in the Moscow region it is clay, iron from mechanical impurities.

Look at my photos - this is clearer than any talk about water quality

The outlet water itself basically "corresponds to GOST" - the transparency and impurities are significantly improved, the hardness ... well, no one will do anything about it on a city scale. but considering that the Volga water is soft, in general, more or less everything is in order. But on the way to the apartment and. especially, inside the house the pipes are not only rusty, some are so worn out that they can filter soil water. So, in fact, this water, either as technical water, can be used or for preparation in a filter.
Why rinse the reverse osmosis tank if you have a normal water intake? In fact, he will rinse himself with water and microbes will not start there. Now, if it has stood for a month, more precisely from two weeks, then you just need to drain it. But the filtering elements themselves are yes, it's a problem, because if you take according to the protocol not only the number of liters passed, but also the service life. At first I have metal ones for rough cleaning and at 100 microns and only after that it goes to the Attol system, but in a transparent flask it is clear that the prefilter, the very first one, after a couple of months becomes bright orange from rust.

I am at a loss which filter to choose: osmosis or just a post-treatment system.

Depends on the "contents of the pocket". I myself talked with friends in the SES, actually in Moscow, if the house is not old, there is enough post-cleaning system, in Khrushchevs, stalinkas and panels - definitely - reverse osmosis. By the way, it cannot be said that the cost there was several times higher.

Select a normal osmosis cleaning system.

What is normal? my pocket will only pull an aquophore and in our stores they only sell a barrier and aquophor cartridges.

Does osmosis have some amount of water going to drain into the sewer? If so, how much?

The five-stage Aquaphor will be just right - I have had it for many years, only I change the filters, without this there is no point in keeping the filter

And they told me in the store that the heel is not necessary, you can take three or four. Fifth for mineralization?

Well, really ... if you want to drink clean water, then its quality should be - and so what's the point in installing filters.
The first installation and purchase of the system itself is expensive (as always with the purchase), and then only the filters can be changed, you can also once a year.
And if you calculate the cost of a liter of purified water, it will turn out per circle, cheaper than purchased in bottles

The first removes mechanical impurities such as rust and clay
Next comes chemical cleaning
And the most important and longest is the membrane

All five are needed if high-quality water is needed.
Another thing is if you use little water, or it is relatively clean, then you can change the filters less often.

I don't buy in bottles. I see no point in what is poured into the bottle. There is no control over bottled water. And more than once there have been cases of poisoning with bottled water. At our sanminiums, they talk about it every time. Bottled water is money down the drain. Therefore, I am interested in how much the water consumption will increase.
I wrote about our water above. There is no turbidity. If you stand, there is a white coating on the dishes and small particles for some unknown reason (most likely from pipes)
I don't understand why there are five filters? Are three listed or are chemical cleaning three filters?

I don't understand why there are five filters? Are three listed or are chemical cleaning three filters?

Mine has five filters! In more detail, then you need to ask the installer-master what they mean, and how often to change them.
I only know about two, I don't remember the rest. I know that filters need to be replaced from three months to 2 years, depending on the purpose of the filter. The longest membrane, it lasts longer.
I do not install or change filters myself - the time is right and I call the installer. He comes home with ready-made filters, changes filters, checks the entire system, cleans the tubes if necessary, and so on ... in fact, I pay for both filters and work.
This suits me completely.

Please tell me if the reverse osmosis system makes any sounds, it is very important to find out if the apartment is a studio, and there are problems with sleeping))

It does not make any sounds, it works quietly, it cannot be heard under the sink

Tatyana, thank you very much for your answer!

I urgently needed a desktop filter for drinking water, I went to study and realized that I could not do without your participation
Jugs, flowing, storage and as a crown or

kapets

purifiers, help not to disappear

[desktop]

drinking water filter desktop

This is not a filter - this is pampering, and nothing more

If a stationary 5-stage filter under the sink gives out such dirt ...



Look at your cartridges, how clean are they after use, and how often do you change them?

[Admin]

Admin, Tatyan, tell me this is not your filter
Now I'm not ready to mentally deal with the installation of such a filter, I have been waiting for the kitchen for so long, I have arranged everything and I simply cannot start "interventions"

And no interference, nothing will have to be split

A five-stage filter with a tank of 8-10 liters is bought and installed under the kitchen sink. True, it will be necessary to connect this system in water and bring the tap up to the sink panel - work for an hour.
Where such filters are sold, there is always a wizard to install it along with the filters.

I also have a place under the sink for all sorts of bubbles for washing the sink and dishes

I came across such a filter

🔗

I liked the description very much
Maybe someone has something to say

[Hope]

Hope, the main thing is that the cartridges are available for replacement

Under my sink is the Aquaphor favorite. This is a small saucepan with a tap. The resource is large, we change it once a year, maybe less often. As we remember, or the taste of water ceases to suit. Water does not soften, plaque forms in the teapot. But not fatal, the water is delicious. Unlike the summer cottage, where the water is softened by huge filters, but it tastes like no, we bring water from the tap from Moscow in bottles

Osmosis water is dead water. IMHO. We need trace elements, why drink a distillate.

Osmosis water is dead water. IMHO. We need trace elements, why drink a distillate.

Usually in such systems there is also a mineralization block, so he adds.

I'm under the sink Aquaphor favorite.

We too. I change the removable module once a year, although the declared resource is two years (with our consumption).

I have tin water, scale after a liter of boiled water covers the bottom, and if a drop of water on the glass dries up, then it seems that this drop of milk has dried up, but there is no rust at all, it seems to me that my white clothes are even whiter after washing in this water I do not want to get involved with the water accumulator for the reason that for half a month there is a very small consumption, a liter at most (coffee in the morning, tea in the evening). I thought that all filters with a tank are osmosis, I'll go read about it Thank you

Under my sink is the Aquaphor favorite.
Osmosis water is dead water. IMHO. We need trace elements, why drink a distillate.

I have Aquaphor. How they clean the water many times showed the photo





My aquaphor cleans water perfectly. No scale is even closely observed in kettles and other appliances where I add clean water (Karcher, iron, ironing press, and so on)

And you think that such "mineral water" can be drunk?
To load the body with clay and limestone?
The body needs only clean water, no impurities! And minerals, trace elements, vitamins need to be obtained in a different way - vegetables, fruits, and other products that contain these benefits.

I'm not afraid to drink water after the filter - the water is clean and tasty - just tasty, without any aftertaste or foreign smell. Where you need to drink pure water, I drink from the filter

Now, after turning off the water in the network, water is flowing cold white milky - what kind of "useful minerals" were added to the water in the network? And sometimes rusty water comes - what kind of minerals are they?
It is scary to wash dishes with such water, and not only drink under the guise of "useful"

[Veta,]

Osmosis water is dead water. IMHO. We need trace elements, why drink a distillate.

Veta, we have such water that if I drink it from the tap, then tomorrow I will give my kidneys and bile to doctors ...
First, it is salty. After it, a plaque remains, like milk, like Nadia's. Secondly, if she stands, she has a red sediment ...

In this regard, I completely agree with Tanya

minerals, trace elements, vitamins must be obtained in another way - vegetables, fruits, and other products that contain these benefits.

We try to eat fully. Every autumn for 2 months we drink raw juices (freshly squeezed) from vegetables and fruits. I think there are enough micronutrients.

Cells need living water.

Cells need living water.

Living - artesian, key, spring, well, provided that there is no contaminated soil around the source, and the water that has been purified at treatment plants by unknown means (chlorine, ozone, etc.) has passed tens of kilometers of pipes before getting into our the filter cannot be live by definition ... alas

Cells need living water.

Minerals - Must be obtained from food, not water. To get your daily dose of minerals from water, you need to drink about 25 liters of water per day. So these are all the fairy tales of filter manufacturers.
For example in Japan, in recent years everyone has started to install household water distillers. And they drink distilled water.
We have the most famous publicity stunt: a fish is launched into clean water, and when it dies in a few days, they say: look! dead water! even fish cannot survive in it!
Meanwhile, if you have ever kept an aquarium, you know that fish need oxygen and microorganisms for life, which settle on their gills and protect them from destruction. Fish, by definition, cannot live in sterile water. A person needs water to thin blood and food, so a person CAN use sterile water from a distiller or reverse osmosis for as long as LONG.

[Sergey Kornilov]

Sergey Kornilov, I do not quite agree about distilled water. From personal experience, in St. Petersburg we have very soft water, there is no gray coating on the teapots and shades, never at all, though there is a lot of iron and the teapot is shiny reddish from the inside.My friends who came to St. Petersburg from other cities get very big problems with their teeth on our water. It is possible to live, but calcium is washed out of the body.And we, those who were not born here in the first generation, the body is already familiar, as it finds other sources of minerals

Calcium may well be washed out from the use of some kind of food or from the high content of iron or other substances in the water that "dissolve" the calcium and then wash it out.
Absolutely clean water will not wash out anything. She just dilutes the blood and nourishes the cells.

I have had the Aquaphor Crystal Eco filter for several years now, I like that water can be drunk not boiled and is suitable for baby food, but I want to put osmosis on the new apartment right away (the water is even worse there), which models are now relevant? Preferably with a small tank, because the sink is 40 cm in total, you need everything to be included.

because the sink is 40 cm in total

The cabinet under the sink, 50 cm wide, includes an aquaphor system for 5 filters, and a tank for 8 liters.
It is not the size of the sink that is important here, but the width of the cabinet itself under the sink.

[Alex315]

Alex315We have put Aquaphor Morion 101s very popular now. I like it, it is just compact - the built-in tank is only 5 liters. It's like a drinking machine. Aquaphor has a smaller model, we saw it on the site, but we chose it offline, of which 101 was only available.

[5 liters]

tank built in total 5 liters

This volume is not enough when the family has a large or large water consumption, for example, for holidays or during the harvesting season. If the filter has a reverse osmosis system, then the filling of the tank is very slow (250 ml into the tank, 750 into the drain). Therefore, the optimal tank, if obtained by the dimensions of the table, is 8-12 liters.

[Admin]

Admin, Yes, I meant the size of the closet. What is your model? I just want to choose something from Aquaphor.

I have a 5-speed aquaphor of the old model, it costs about 6-7 years, and it still works properly. From time to time I invite a master from the company to replace filters.
In principle, the filter does not need much space, and the system and tank are neatly one behind the other



I have a cabinet of 50 cm. The problem can only be in the installation of the sink, its centering - a sink with a drain shifted to the side is needed.

[Admin]

Admin, 6-7 years old - wow, this is reliability! it has paid off to you several times)



GalaxyI liked this one, it suits us in size, I found 102s more - a little different color, it has higher performance. Is there enough tank for 5 liters? We will mainly use 2 people
